Ralphie the Buffalo is technically a North American bison. Brooke Neely, a research associate with the Center of the American West, sheds light on how CU’s iconic bison mascot became known as a buffalo.

For nearly two decades, physicists at JILA have pioneered record-fast lasers that can fit on a table and have chilled clouds of atoms to just a fraction of a degree above absolute zero. With a new award, their work is just getting started.

New CU Boulder research shows that bacteria harness physical laws to operate at the edge of chaos and use calcium to independently diversify and find a place to settle down.

CU Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology are teaming up to help adapt a 90-year-old system for detecting alcohol for a new age of cannabis legalization. A new study suggests it won’t be easy.

Coffee could be the key to reducing 3D printing waste, according to a new study. AVÃûʪers with the ATLAS Institute and Department of Computer Science developed a method for 3D printing using a paste made out of old coffee grounds.

The first-ever, randomized, controlled trial of community gardening found that those who started it ate more fiber and got more physical activity—known ways to reduce risk of cancer and chronic disease—and were also less stressed and anxious. Watch the video.
